Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Fire Attribute Spiritual Object
It was quite clear that Xue Yuling was attempting to forge a good relationship with Ji Haoyuan.
Because she had already realized that the Ji Haoyuan before her was probably not an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.
After all, a typical Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn’t have so many belongings of demon cultivators in their storage bag, let alone the meat of a Kunling Demon Python.
Not everyone could casually produce such items.
"Then how much would Friend Xue be willing to purchase it for?"
Ji Haoyuan asked with a smile.
Xue Yuling pondered for a moment and said, "Five Spirit Stones per pound, how does Friend Ji find that price?"
Honestly, that price was quite fair.
As far as Ji Haoyuan knew, the price of second-tier demon beast meat was generally between two to three Spirit Stones per pound.
Apart from some relatively rare second-tier demon beast meats, the prices didn’t fluctuate much.
From this, it could be seen that Xue Yuling was indeed offering him quite a generous deal.
"I wonder, Friend Ji, how many pounds of Kunling Demon Python meat can you offer me?"
Xue Yuling continued to ask with a smile.
"Four hundred pounds will do, just to make it a round number."
Ji Haoyuan thought for a moment, then immediately replied with a smile.
Actually.
The edible portions of the entire Kunling Demon Python weren’t that much.
Four hundred pounds was about the maximum he could currently offer.
As for the rest, he had mostly left them for Ji Bochang and the others to handle and distribute on their own.
"That’s fine."
Xue Yuling nodded with a smile.
Once the transaction was completed again, Ji Haoyuan finally brought up the reason for his visit to Xue Yuling.
"A Fire Attribute Spiritual Object that can enhance my cultivation...?"
Xue Yuling thought for a moment, then stood up and said to Ji Haoyuan:
"Please wait here, Friend Ji, I’ll go get it for you."
With that, Xue Yuling walked out.
Not long after, Xue Yuling returned with three jade boxes.
She opened them one by one.
Inside were a red pill, a small red flower resembling a snake’s head, and a red fruit the size of a goose egg.
"Friend Ji..."
Xue Yuling said with a smile, "I imagine you’re familiar with these three items.
They are the Fire True Pill, Red Jade Snake Flower, and Molten Rock Vermilion Fruit.
All of them meet your current needs.
It all depends on which one you want."
Looking at the items before him, Ji Haoyuan fell into contemplation.
First, the Fire True Pill could be considered the most common second-tier Fire Attribute Spiritual Object.
Any cultivator focusing on Fire Attribute Cultivation Techniques could enhance their level to some degree by consuming it.
However, the efficacy of such an object is limited.
One pill might not be enough.
Next was the Red Jade Snake Flower.
This flower grows in the nests of second-tier fire attribute snake demon beasts, continuously exposed to their aura.
Although consuming this spiritual object has a good effect, it may be affected by the aura of such demon beasts.
However.
For those with a strong will, it’s not really a significant issue.
As for the last one, the Molten Rock Vermilion Fruit, it’s nurtured by subterranean lava.
Judging by its growth environment, it should contain a fair amount of violent energy.
However, in reality, this kind of spiritual object is one of the most mild among its kind.
And its effect is the best among the three spiritual objects.
The only downside might be that the Molten Rock Vermilion Fruit is likely the most expensive of the three.
Nonetheless, as now was a crucial time for him to deepen the foundation of his cultivation, Ji Haoyuan naturally wanted the best, if conditions allowed.
With these thoughts, Ji Haoyuan immediately told Xue Yuling:
"Friend Xue, I’ll take the Molten Rock Vermilion Fruit, how much is it?"
"The Molten Rock Vermilion Fruit?"
Xue Yuling smiled.
"I guessed you would choose this, Friend Ji."
After a pause, Xue Yuling then said:
"If it were someone else, I would definitely charge them the regular market price.
But as it’s you, Friend Ji, I’ll generously offer you a discount.
How about three thousand five hundred Spirit Stones?"
"Three thousand five hundred Spirit Stones?"
Ji Haoyuan knew that at regular market price, the Molten Rock Vermilion Fruit would cost at least around four thousand Spirit Stones.
After all, it is a spiritual object that enhances a cultivator’s level.
And it carries a slight effect of realm breakthrough.
Although it is only useful for certain types of cultivators, that doesn’t diminish its value.
With this realization, Ji Haoyuan promptly smiled and nodded:
"Alright, three thousand five hundred Spirit Stones it is."
As he said this, he didn’t forget to express his gratitude to Xue Yuling.
Xue Yuling courteously shook her head.
After concluding this transaction, Ji Haoyuan also queried Xue Yuling about the last two matters.
That would be regarding the second-tier Hundred Skills of Cultivation inheritance and the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan’s inquiries, Xue Yuling’s elegant brows furrowed slightly.
She pondered for a moment and then, with a touch of apology, said to Ji Haoyuan:
"I’m really sorry, Friend Ji, but you must understand that Foundation Establishment Pills are rarely found in regular shops under normal circumstances.
It’s not that our Linglong Commerce can’t obtain them, but we can’t sell them publicly this way.
The reasons for this, I don’t need to go into detail, as I’m sure you can guess at least some.
As for the second-tier Hundred Skills of Cultivation inheritance..."
Xue Yuling paused briefly and then continued:
"Currently, our Exquisite Treasure Pavilion does have a few such items.
If you are interested, Friend Ji, I can fetch them for you to take a look.
However, as you’re aware, the value of such items means their price won’t be cheap."
With that, Xue Yuling didn’t hesitate and went out to fetch a few jade scrolls for Ji Haoyuan.
"Friend Ji, take a look, these are the second-tier and above Hundred Skills of Cultivation inheritances that our Exquisite Treasure Pavilion currently possesses."
Accepting the jade scrolls from Xue Yuling, Ji Haoyuan scanned through them briefly.
He found that the inheritances recorded in these jade scrolls were mostly fragmented contents.
There was no essential connection among them.
That is to say, they were specific to the crafting of certain items.
For example, the method to craft the second-tier Spiritual Artifact Jade Wave Sword.
They only detailed the required materials, the methods, and conditions needed.
But concerning the principles of crafting this spiritual artifact and more related knowledge required, the jade scrolls offered no mention.
For artifact refiners who hadn’t reached this level yet, it was nearly impossible to craft related spiritual artifacts based solely on what’s described.
However, for Ji Haoyuan, it wasn’t much of an issue.
What he needed now was merely a stepping stone into the second-tier.
There were many things he could deduce and obtain through practical application.
With this in mind, he immediately asked Xue Yuling:
"Friend Xue, if I wanted all these Inheritance Jade Scrolls, how much would they cost in total Spirit Stones?"
